When I go into Windows XP SP2 Windows Explorer, My network places, Microsoft
Windows Network, and select the workgroup (MSHOME) I get:

Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available.

What can I do so I get a list of workgroup computers.

All computers are running Windows XP SP2 and are members of the MSHOME
workgroup with Internet connection through DLINK DI914+ home router.

You can see your other thread for more advice. Please don't multi-post.

So I'll repeat my advice from the other thread.

Windows XP, as with most other Windows editions, will indeed show the actual
shares, when the computers are setup properly.

You, most likely, have a NetBT setting or personal firewall, problem on one or
more computers.

You can probably diagnose the problem, using logs from "browstat status",
"ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):
